Neither have I. ADHD can be treated with medications/therapies other than stimulants. While they do help, they're not a cure-all. Not sure why people are insisting he NEEDS his Adderall.

Not sure why you're so opposed to someone getting their medication.

Not sure why people are acting like Adderall is comparable to Insulin. Ask an average person if they're given their Adderall while in jail.

If it's prescribed by a doctor then the answer should absolutely be yes.

You fail to realize the risk factors with prescribing a Schedule 2 medication in a correctional setting.

People should have access to their medications. That's just a basic moral requirement.

Yet again, it's a scheduled medication with high abuse potential. If you feel so strongly about it, go petition the BOP for that category of medications to be used as front line treatments.

Edit: To add to this, he was using multiple medications that are questionable together while FTX was defrauding it's investors. I'd love to know from the many commenters about how this helped his "impulsivity" in the slightest. Seriously insane thought process.
